aonnel It deserve. . - ;
'The ynlted State la the only power
on earth that confides the command of
a powerful battleship "fleet to ; a rear

individual capacity, by, the very llmlta

which Is wrapped up so much of the

nation. ''..-.- - . .
. "It is bitterly humiliating to realise
that in any combined operations or In
ternational functions where naval forces
are involved, the flag officers of our
mighty republio are predestined to 'take
the lowest place,, and thus, under the
working of world custom and agreement
os strong practically us law, prohibited
from exercising the degree of control
and Influence to which, In their repre
sentative, capacity, they are rightfully
entitled.
Americans Take Bear Place.
"American flag officers must always
submit with what grace puaslble, to
having their command placed to the
rear in lines of march and fleet forma
tions; must always fire the first , salute,
always pay tlio first call; and always
yield general precedence to foreign offi
cers at state and social functions- or

"This lack of fitting representation of

among the rank and file of the navies

to such an, extent that, upon all im

London, Jan. 21. Professor Eliot

fifty mummies which comprise all that
is' left of the great Pharaohs of ancient
Egypt, their queens, and some members
of their royal households. The mummies
are contained in the Cairo museum, and
the examination has been made at the
request of Blr Gaston Maspero, director
or the Department , of Antiquities 1 at
Cairo The mummies include 'those of
King Saqnounri, the last king of the
seventeenth dynasty, about 2,000 B, C,
"whose battered skull and wounded

hastily embalmed, bear witness to sud

grandson Seti II. . : .;'

A unique opportunity was affdrded
Professor Elliot Smith of studying the
anthropological history of the royal dy
nasties, and after a lapse of more than
23 centuries material has been obtained
with which to form fairly accurate pic
tures of the appearance of the Phar
aohs. Thus Menephtah, the rharaoh of
the Exodus, was a somewhat corpulent
man. He was almost completely bald,
only a narrow fringe of white hair re
maining' on the temple.' The process
of embalming had been eminently suc
cessful, the body being well preserved.
Theen.eral ..jaflpeciPfiolfte...Bay
Professor Elliot Smith, recalls that of
Rameses, his father, but the form of
the cranium and the. measurements of
the face more nearly agree with those
of his grandfather, Betl the great, Setl
I and Rameses II exhibit in their cran
ial and facial ' features many alien
traits, curiously blended with ' Egyptian
characters; but in Menephtah the, for
eign clement lniiis composition Is more
obtrusively shown than it is in either
his father or his grandfather. . He has
the prominent, high-bridged nose of his
father, but a shorter and much broader
cranium than either of his predecessors.
Ills heignt was 5 feet 7. Inches.
Each Pharaoh, says .Professor Elliot
Smith, is, if rightly regarded, a his
torical document,' ' It was during the
examination of the royal series extend
ing from the seventeenth to the twenty-first
dynasty,' that he first recog
nised the evolutionary changes -which
affect the methods or embifmlng prac
tised In ancient Egypt He perceived
then that it is possible to recognize the
dynasty to which" a mummy belongs by
the technique employed by the embalm
r. In many cases he was able to set;
the historians right the sex and age
in,some cases proved incompatible with
the identification originally made.

a vice-admiral should command a squad

el assignments
upon our naval commanders In chief,
and the wishes of the government,, as
voiced through them, are frequently not
given proper weight because of their
inferiority in grade standing as com
pared with the representative foreign
officers with whom they have to deal,
"It la not possible to emphasise too
strongly that the important fact is not
that our supreme flag officers person
ally lack prestige on such occasions on
account of their relatively low rank, but
that the nation represented in them is
forced Into a position falsely indicative
of its dignity and power. Our govern
ment unwittingly handicaps its repre
sentatives, its recommendations and Its
requests. A parallel case would be the
sending of a diplomat of only minister
ial rank to a government whose stand
ing necessitates the accrediting of a full
ambassador. 1

4,000,000 TREES TO
BE PLANTED IN 1913
Harrlsburg, Pa., Jan. 21. Probably
4,000,000 young trees will be set out on
the state reserve of Pennsylvania this
year, according to estimates of the state
forestry authorities, who are engaged in
plans to do some extensive planting.
Last year more than 1,900,000 seedlings
were set out, making the greatest year
for the department's operations in that
direction.
The state is now growing almost all
tiie trees used for replanting, and also
is encouraging forestry In the vicinity
of reserves. .The state now operates
three large nurseries and several small
ones on Its lands, the first having been
created at Mont Alto in 1902. It pro
duced 385,000 young trees this year,
while Greenwood gave 600,000 seedlings
and Asaph 960,000. The latter, it is es
timated, will give 3,000,000 in 113.
To date the state's forestry departr
ment has planted; aproxlmately 5,775,
000 trees, of which 6,000,000 came from
its nurseries. .-The nurseries cover 2800
acres, and next year it Js expected that
the output Will be more than doubled.
Before long the department hopes to
plant at least 20,000,000 seedlings a
year on Its own lands.
